Women's Programme

We are here to support you

Tuu Oho Mai Services was founded in 1991 for the victims of family harm. Today our purpose remains to develop loving whanau so that they thrive.

We understand how complex family violence can be and we are here to support and guide wahine to realise their own power in breaking free from violent relationships. One way we do this is through weekly education programmes for Maori, Non Maori and Asian women.
